Lost In Space

Hi guys Pyramid released a new EP today. It's 10 tracks long, you can find some tracks that were already released on his soundcloud such as Space Odissey or The Race, and obviously a lot of new ones. Lost In Space is a simply amazing, it gives an impressive look of what he's able to create, wonderful, deep yet dancy tunes... Welcome to Pyramid's universe. Beside having a nice taste for the artworks he uses on his covers, he has a very personal style, between ambient, soundtrack like music and 8bit / à la Danger synths. It's a name your price release, so don't forget to grab it, and give him what you think his work is worth, it's important to help new artists.







Enjoy!

Le 3 AM post

Sooo, I can't sleep, here are some tracks !



First, two remixes of The Rapture's new song by Populette and Lapse. I listened to the original about 10 times on my way to work, it was in my head all day long and those two remixes didn't help to get the lyrics away.



The Rapture - How Deep Is Your Love (Lapse dub)

That one's a bit older but some of you might not know it, anyway, it's a brilliant remix from Designer Drugs.





Two tracks from The Whip's new album Wired Together, to be released in September on Southern Fried Records.





And I'll end with three pretty recent remixes made by Louis La Roche because I know some of you guys want us to post about him ! Today he also announced that he'll release something really soon so...







Oh and, brand new Skrillex music video.



I don't always post, but when I do I'm freakin tired so... goodnight, and enjoy !

Daft Punk - Da Funk (1 35 Beat)

Daft Punk - Teachers Instrumental

Daft Punk - Work It Loop



Laidback Luke - Break Down The House Acapella

Modjo - Lady Accapella

Simian - Never Be Alone Accapella (Chorus)

A Very Warped History 11: 2003

    Previous Part                                                                                                       Next Part   


Like the last entry, this edition of Warped will also feature a bands slightly more mainstream take on their established sound, and again the album is slightly patchy in places with some gems within (though it's less patchy than Mind Elevation). Most of the bad press seems to levelled against that fact, but I'm going to show you once again that a more mainstream approach isn't such a bad thing. Tune in this week, because it's Broadcast time again!



I prefer Haha Sound's introduction to the one on The Noise Made By People, their previous effort, it has that dreamy washed out quality to it right off the bat, which is something Broadcast consistently nail



There was a reason I said this LP has a *slightly* more mainstream take to the sound. Straight after the floaty intro it jarringly dumps you into this world of menacing electronics and imposing drums juxtaposed with the steady musings of Trish Keenan. And it's brilliant.



The cycle continues with this next track, with Pendulum fading ever so gracefully into Before We Begin, which sounds like a long lost record from the 60's; and that is pretty much Broadcast in a nutshell.



This is where the first "patch" as it were, occurs. The tracks aren't necessarily bad, they just... aren't anything special. Your patience is rewarded though, as as immediately afterwards you are treated to what is perhaps one of the band's best efforts.



Probably my overall favourite from this album, unlike most of their work it contains very little in the way of electronic effects, meaning that this track in particular sounds very crisp and all the other elements play into each other beautifully, all strung together by Keenan's unique voice.





Much like the above, though packing a bit more in the electronics department is Winter Now bears a structure akin to a pop song, albeit with that slightly skewed trademark Broadcast sound to it. Which really shows itself in the last 30 seconds or so.



And finally, playing us out is the rather out of place Hawk I was a bit unsure of this track at first (as I've already said it comes completley out of nowhere) but then those simple but oh so effective pads hit and I was in love, and I have grown to love the frantic rhythm in time as well. A fitting end? eh, sort of. An excellent track? Most Definitely



It will be a while before we see Broadcast's third (and ultimately, last) album. But we have more stuff from Squarepusher & Boards Of Canada to keep us occupied.

Until Then,
-Claude Van Foxbat

2 EPs 1 LP

Hi there, back from my vacation and I have a little something in my backpack for you guys !

First, 3 songs released by Alecks Awklr to make us wait as he's working on another LP ! Alecks is keeping his nice sound, very calm downtempo, so refreshing these days.



These two other releases are not really new, but still.

The Glitch Mob throwed a three songs long EP, and I simply can't decide which ones to post because they all are impressivly good. If you enjoyed their LP :Drink The Sea, you will definitely love these.

So here they are.



Remember how I think violins are more than great when nicely used in electronic music ? T H I S.







Our long time readers might remember SBTRKT (pronounced subtract), we talked a bit about him back in the beginning of 2010. He released his album this year, and it's been praised everywhere, for obvious reasons, as it is simply amazing.

So who is SKTRKT except a guy with a tribal mask ? If you ask me is an Ambient/Jungle/Dubstep prodigy with a bit of Hudson Mohawke on the side, as you'll hear in his track Ready Set Loop. His style is hard to explain but easy to recognize, isn't that what's best ?

I obviously won't post the whole LP, but here are my favorite tracks and the music video for Wildfire.











Enjoy!

Son Of Strelka, Son Of God

We here at ilictronix are no strangers to cutting things into teeny tiny pieces and then using those pieces to create something bigger, just look at Pogo for example. But what I bring you today takes that concept and does something truly amazing with it.



I saw this a few weeks ago, over on the Something Awful Forums and have waited anxiously for it to be completed. Son Of Strelka is an audio story set to music. Nothing unusual about that right? Well, the bloke who made it, Dan Warren, dissected the audio version of Barack Obama's autobiography and has meticulously been re-arranging it for the past four years to make this tale of creation set to music. I was skeptical at first, expecting not much in the way of quality but I was wrong. The whole thing flows amazingly well to say it's formed from fragments of sentences from throughout the book. So, in essence what you are left with is a 30 minute short story narrated by Barack Obama himself. And with that: Enjoy the first four chapters of Son Of Strelka, Son Of God



If you want to read more about Son Of Strelka or just simply hear the rest of the story; find the original thread with download and torrent links provided by Dan Warren himself here: Here and animations of the first two chapters here and here.

Words & Music,
